The acquisition of Nicolas Gaitán was a step towards the offensive juggernaut this Chicago Fire team can be. Fans have been asking for a player like him, but so has the team’s play. There are quite a few great attacking threats on this team, and there are a variety of ways that they can hurt opposing defenses. Gaitán is the key to unlocking all of it.
For Gaitán to do this, the movement in the rest of the attack has to get better. For all of the talent this group has, the movement has been static thus far.
